The bottom caption is what makes it bad.

So many things wrong here, but the most wrongiest is Fatone's awesome staredown.

"The Look and Sound of Perfect"

What the fuck!? I trust this is pertaining to the quality of the DVD, with it placed where a film's tagline normally is. Too, what the hell with there not being a gun or something in the artwork that gets across that the film is a sexy crime tale rather than just a sexy tale?

Pretty pathetic, this.

I'm pretty sure I went through all 11 pages of this thread. How did this not get mentioned? I know Weinberg is quoted on the back, but still...

I've seen this movie many times and I have yet to see a single roller coaster in the damn thing.

Apparently that fact that he JUST (recently!) crossed the border is a big plot point.

The Oscars could have done a DVD cover montage featuring those with characters' heads at the top of the box, and a long shot of some moment of action at the bottom of the box. I see this all the time at the video store.

I really hope they fixed the spelling before they put out the actual DVD:

Oy. The Beeb, yet. Worst typo since "feminisim" on the cover of Ms.

So this is the big change Oz was talking about: we've finally branched out into DVDs.

Worst photoshopping ever on McGinley?

I was honestly torn as to whether to put this here or in the Cool DVD Covers thread.

Let's say it's hilariously awful and cool.

Looks like Stephen Colbert!

(Better look here.)

The Photoshop job on Parker's head is brilliant.

With white Impact font with black outline text and intentional misspelling, the tagline looks like LOLCAT text.

But of course:

I have convinced myself that this will be the greatest thing ever:

IMDB synopsis: "A teenager with an early onset of male-pattern baldness befriends his high school's janitor." AWESOME.

Osmond's smile isn't as creepy this time. Shame.

Of course, there's always the C. THOMAS HOWELL STAREDOWN:

There's worse horror movie covers, until you realize that this is a kids' movie. I may post a rant/article about the cover and the nigh-inexplicable R rating as the October release date looms nearer.

Oh. Fucking awful.

And what was wrong with the original design?

I do not know.

The new disc's got some cool extras, though.

Oh. My. Goodness.

You want to know the worst video cover to a film with one of the most brilliant posters ever?

Theatrical:

Video:

You want to know, though, what country has the best movie-poster artwork?

Over half of my posters are from Turkey, with this one being one of my favorites:
